1 Samuel introduces us to a new leader of Israel named Samuel. He is the last of the judges and will play a role in identifying Israel鈥檚 first two kings. Samuel鈥檚 birth follows a pattern of miraculous births that result in God doing so much more than just allowing a baby to be born. God answers the prayers of a woman who is so distressed she appears drunk.
The things we long for the most and pray for the hardest open a door for God to do things in ways that can build our faith. In this case, it could even rescue a generation of God鈥檚 people. Do you have the patience to wait for God to answer your prayers in his way and in his time?
